About Seat Posts

A good quality seat post will save weight and hold your saddle securely. Seatposts are made in various materials, alloy and carbon being the two most common, alloy posts are lightweight, durable and cost efficient, while carbon posts are the popular choice for top end machines. Seat posts vary in where they hold the saddle relative to their own centre line so make sure you have enough adjustment on your saddle rails to allow for this or you could end up with your saddle too far forwards. A seat post needs to fit your frame exactly and are measured by as little as 0.2mm. When choosing a new one, either read off the measurement from your old seat post or measure it carefully with a vernier calliper. Make sure you lubricate the frame (unless they're carbon fibre) before insertion or you'll struggle to get it out again.

About the Tifosi brand

Introduced in 2000 the Tifosi brand was one of the first customised bike brands of the new millennium.
The intention was to inspire European component parts makers in the face of the transfer of large scale bike building to the Far East. After all, bespoke tailoring has always been the hallmark of quality.
The Tifosi are enthusiastic supporters of the sport in Italy which is where Chicken’s Columbus tubing originated, now produced under the CK Columbus brand name in the Far East.
Tifosi frames are powder coated to the highest quality in Belgium and built in-house to customers’ specification, using a variety of group sets, wheels and parts.
The build kits and group sets offer component mixes in terms of balance and extraordinary good value. Quality brand name parts are all too evident – Campagnolo, Mavic, Selle Italia, Gruppo 3T, Vredestein, T.A., Selcof – are European components well known for performance and reliability.

Light, looks the business and performs very wellPerfect does exactly what it is meant to, reduced a lot of road vibration, makes a drastic improvement to aluminium seat post and the carbon effect compliments my carbon frame cannot fault this item and for the price a no brainer.

Tremendous priceThis is a truly remarkable price for such a good seat post. It has improved the ride on my aluminium Tifosi, absorbing a lot of the bumps and road buzz. I am delighted with this purchase, but my only criticism? The angle of the bolt for the saddle clamp is such that a short stemmed torque wrench is tight against the post itself, making it a tad tricky. But a minor gripe, especially at this price.

Great value seat postThis is a carbon/fibreglass composite with a high quality finish so looks good. The seat post has measuring marks and is supplied with a collar to aid easy refitting to the correct height (there are discussions on various forums whether this is actually a seat post clamp and I would say very good luck to anyone believing this to be the case...).
Single bolt clamping system is simple and robust. Do consider the offset when purchasing and the fact this weighed the same as the alloy post it replaced. The real gain, aside from the looks, is when fitted to an aluminium bike, longer rides are a lot more comfortable.

Carbon post alloy frame

Do you put anything on the post before you install it to a alloy frame?

Asked by: karljb

Yes you would need to use a carbon assembly paste such as this: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/fenwicks-carbon-assembly-paste/

Is this actually made from carbon fibre Or is it just wrapped?

Asked by: Jimnob

The shaft is made of a carbon/fibreglass composite - no wrapping of alloy with this one!

Notched clamp

Does the metal seat clamp have little notches or is it smooth?

Asked by: pedros45

It is notched. They are small enough to adjust correctly without hassle.

Help

Hi,
I have a specialized secteur 2010 road bike. The seatpost on this bike is 27.2 diameter. I want to put the Tifosi seat post in to improve comfort. I am 6 foot tall with 33&quot; inch inside legs, on the heavy side, weighing 13st 12 pounds. Do I need to buy anything else or do I just swap the posts?
Also, does anybody know of any nice brown comfort but performace seats that would fit this post
Many thanks in advance.

Asked by: Bobby13

Can this seat post be used with oval rails?

Asked by: Spincycle

Within reason, I can see no issue. That is unless your oval rails are extreme.
The clamp is standard two halves with a locating groove in both.

31.6 for a 31.8 tube?

Will I need a shim?

Asked by: CorkAlleyCat

Shims are not available in 0.2mm size. You would be better off buying a 31.8mm diameter post.
